Contract Marriage: From Vows To Vengeance

What good could come out of a loveless marriage birthed from a bitter feud? Amelia Hudgens' dream of a marital bliss filled with love was shattered when she was married off to Daniel Theodore as a pawn for an ancient vendetta. Her husband, Daniel, was a cruel and abusive man who tormented her with his mistress and his fists. He shattered her dreams of happiness and freedom, leaving her broken and hopeless. Hope bloomed, fragile as a butterfly's wing, when she discovered life stirring within her, but fate had other plans. A tragic accident took away her unborn baby, leaving her shattered and alone. Daniel blamed her for everything, even in the hospital where she was recovering. He showed no mercy, only malice. Amelia wanted to end her misery, to jump from a bridge and drown in the sea. But as she was about to take the final plunge, she crossed paths with Cullen, a mysterious man who saved her from the brink of death. He was kind and gentle, a soothing balm for her wounded soul. He offered her a chance to start over, to heal from her past. But could Amelia trust him? Could she rebuild her life and find happiness again? Could she stand up against Daniel, who would stop at nothing to get her back? Was Cullen's help all genuine?

Chapter 71

Cullen did not reply. Rather, he fixed a heated gaze on Miley, wordlessly asking her to leave Amelia.

The little girl read the look in his eyes perfectly yet refused. She secretly tucked out her tongue towards him and sweetly played with the strands of Amelia's hair.

Ariana chuckled softly when she saw Miley's tongue. She bet Amelia missed that. Moving closer to the couch, she stood before Amelia with a small smile.

Stretching her hand out of a handshake, she said to Amelia, "If he wouldn't do it, I would. Cullen has been so ashamed of me all his life so I get it if he doesn't tell you who I am," she eyed Cullen and face Amelia again, "I'm Ariana, Cullen's sister," she wiggled her hand softly for a handshake.

Amelia frowned. She wondered how Cullen thought. How in heaven's name can he be ashamed of a beautiful person like the woman before her for a sister?
